R.Kelly has bail set at 1M after court hears explicit details of alleged sexual abuse against three underage girls {F}

R Kelly is charged with TEN counts of criminal sexual abuse involving underage girls in Chicago - one week after reports of a rape tape featuring singer and a minor

Robert Sylvester Kelly, 52, was granted $1million bond in court on Saturday

He has been indicted and booked on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sex abuse

The judge imposed a bond of $250,000 for each of the four cases brought against the embattled R&B singer

He will be able to post just 10 percent of the bond amount to be released

Kelly's lawyers had asked for a lower bond amount, arguing that the defendant's finances are a mess in part because he was recently dropped by his record label

Kelly surrendered for arrest on Friday night in Chicago as his attorney denied the charges and vowed his client would be vindicated

The alleged incidents took place with four women between 1998 and 2010

Three of the women were under the age of 17 at the time of the alleged assaults

R Kelly was granted $1million bond in court on Saturday after having been indicted and booked on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sex abuse. The R&B singer, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, is pictured in a booking photo released by the Chicago Police Department

Kelly has been accused of sexually abusing four victims, at least three who were under the age of 17 at the time. The singer (above in a court sketch from Saturday) reportedly kept his eyes locked on the courtroom floor and looked dejected as Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr called the allegations against him 'disturbing'

Cook County state's attorney Kimberly Foxx spoke to the press outside the courtroom following Kelly's bond hearing and provided more details about the charges brought against the singer, which the presiding judge called 'disturbing'

After the hearing, Cook County state's attorney Kimberly Foxx addressed the press and provided additional details on each of the indictments.

The first victim, identified as H.W., allegedly met Kelly when she was celebrating her 16th birthday and his manager gave her the artist's card.

The victim's mother approached the manager and informed him that the girl was only 16. The girl later took the card out of her mother's purse and contacted Kelly, who told her to skip school and come to his studio, Foxx said.

The pair allegedly had regular sexual contact including oral and vaginal intercourse about once a month between May 26, 1998 and May 25, 1999. Kelly is charged with four counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse for the alleged offenses involving that victim.

The second indictment is based on a disturbing video purportedly showing Kelly have sex with a 14-year-old girl identified as R.L., in an incident that took place between September 26, 1998 and September 25, 2001.

That incident resulted in two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse - one for 'contact between Robert Kelly's penis and R.L's sex organ' one for contact with her 'mouth.'

The allegations came to light in 2001 when a witness having a conversation with Kelly and his associates was asked to retrieve video showing the artist having sexual intercourse with the victim. The witness turned the video over to police.

The third indictment with one count of aggravated sexual assault involved a 24-year-old hairdresser, identified as L.W., who was hired to braid Kelly's hair.

Prosecutors say that on February 18, 2003, Kelly told the woman that he didn't want her to braid his hair but wanted a head massage as he exposed his penis to her.

He then allegedly grabbed her head and tried to force her to perform oral sex on him. When she resisted, Kelly ejaculated on her and spit in her face several times, prosecutors said. Kelly's DNA was recovered from the alleged victim's shirt.

The fourth victim, identified as J.P., met Kelly when she asked for his autograph while attending his 2008 trial on child pornography charges.

According to an indictment detailing three counts of aggravated sexual assault, the pair engaged in oral and vaginal sex between a period from May 2009 to January 2010. She was between 13 and 17 at the time.

Prosecutors say Kelly would often spit on the victim, slap her in the face, choke her and ejaculate on her. She saved a shirt from one of the incidents and turned it over to police, who found a DNA match to Kelly.

If convicted on all 10 counts, Kelly could face up to 70 years behind bars. His arraignment has been scheduled for February 28.

Avenatti blasted back minutes later on Twitter: 'Steve Greenberg is exactly what R Kelly deserves. Happy to be living rent free in this guy's head.'

R KELLY INDICTMENTS

Robert Sylvester Kelly, 52, was indicted on 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse involving four victims on Friday, February 22 in Chicago.

VICTIM 1 - H.W., 16 years old

Regular sexual contact between May 1998 to May 1999

Four counts of aggravated sexual assault

Kelly allegedly met H.W. when she was celebrating her 16th birthday and his manager gave her the artist's card, according to Cook County state attorney Kimberly Foxx.

The victim's mother approached the manager and informed him that the girl was only 16. The girl later took the card out of her mother's purse and contacted Kelly, who told her to skip school and come to his studio, Foxx said.

The pair allegedly had regular sexual contact including oral and vaginal intercourse about once a month between May 26, 1998 and May 25, 1999.

VICTIM 2 - R.L., 14 years old

Once incident between September 1998 to September 2001

Two counts of aggravated sexual assault

The second indictment is based on a disturbing video purportedly showing Kelly have sex with a 14-year-old girl identified as R.L., in an incident that allegedly took place between September 26, 1998 and September 25, 2001.

The allegations came to light in 2001 when a witness having a conversation with Kelly and his associates was asked to retrieve video showing the artist having sexual intercourse with the victim, Foxx said. The witness turned the video over to police.

VICTIM 3 - L.W., 24 years old

One incident on February 18, 2003

One count of aggravated sexual assault

Prosecutors say L.W. had been hired to braid Kelly's hair on February 18, 2003, and when the singer showed up for his appointment he allegedly told the 24-year-old that he didn't want her to braid his hair but wanted a head massage as he exposed his penis to her.

He then allegedly grabbed her head and tried to force her to perform oral sex on him. When she resisted, Kelly ejaculated on her and spit in her face several times, prosecutors said. Kelly's DNA was recovered from the victim's shirt.

VICTIM 4 - J.P., under 17 years old

Repeated sexual contact between May 2009 and January 2010

Three counts of aggravated sexual assault

J.P. allegedly met Kelly when she asked for his autograph while attending his 2008 criminal trial on child pornography charges.

According to an indictment detailing three counts of aggravated sexual assault, the pair engaged in oral and vaginal sex between a period from May 1, 2009 to January 31, 2010.

Kelly allegedly spat on the victim, slapped her in the face and ejaculated on her. The victim brought a T-shirt with his semen on it when she reported the alleged abuse to police.

If convicted on all 10 counts, Kelly could face up to 70 years behind bars. His arraignment has been scheduled for February 28.

R Kelly has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.

Kelly's attorney Steve Greenberg denied the charges against his client after he turned himself in on Friday night. Greenberg told reporters that 'all the women are lying'

Upon news of his arrest, some of Kelly's accusers spoke out to express their gratitude.

'When I first heard the news, I started crying because it was tears of joy,' Asante McGee told WSB-TV in Atlanta.

She appeared in the Surviving R Kelly docuseries, in which she accused the singer of holding her in a Georgia home and abusing her six years ago - allegations that are unrelated to the criminal charges Kelly faces in Chicago.

'To know that we finally got an indictment after two decades, after him getting away with the allegations, it was a joyous moment for me,' McGee said. 'Just knowing the things that he was doing to those young girls was really sickening.'

In a statement, Kelly's attorney said the singer is 'shell-shocked' by the sex abuse charges.

Kelly has previously denied all allegations of assault and abuse through his lawyer.

Aggravated criminal sexual abuse is a Class 2 felony with a sentencing range of three to seven years in prison. He faces up to 70 years behind bars if convicted.

These new charges come one week after the emergence of a rape tape that allegedly features Kelly and a minor.

Back to court: R Kelly (above at his 2008 trial) has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse by the Cook County State's Attorney's office

Foxx had made a very public plea for accusers to come forward last month, and there could be more charges to come.

This comes just one day after the Cook County State's Attorney's Office announced that Jussie Smollett had been indicted by a grand jury on a single charge of disorderly conduct for falsifying a police report in a suspected hate hoax.

The same judge overseeing that case, Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr, has been assigned to Kelly's case.

Illinois is just one of the states where there is an open investigation into Kelly.

Lawyers for the Southern District of New York have also been meeting with alleged victims as well as agents from the IRS and FBI while the Department of Homeland Security has also opened up a probe.

The alleged rape tape was submitted to the State's Attorney's Office last week by Michael Avenatti.

At the time, Avenatti said that he believed it showed Kelly and an underage minor whose age he guessed to be 14.

CNN then watched the tape as well, despite the fact that it is a federal crime to watch child pornography.

When asked if either party might be investigated for these actions, an FBI spokesperson declined to comment.

R Kelly has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving several victims including minors. He is seen above performing in 2016

Singer R Kelly is charged with TEN counts of sexual abuse

This all comes in the wake of the Lifetime series Surviving R Kelly.

The six-part docuseries ended on a devastating note, with the parents of one of the young women who had run away with Kelly seen throwing rocks at his studio windows trying to get the attention of their daughter.

When they called Chicago police however, the members of law enforcement were not able to legally enter the property.

Kelly had yet to be hit with any criminal charges in the wake of the docuseries until Friday.

His manager however found himself in trouble with the law days after the series premired.

A police report filed in Georgia reveals that Don Russell texted and called Timothy Savage, the father of one of the alleged victims, to say it 'would be best for him and his family if the documentary does not air.'

Russell later said that he and Kelly might have to release information that would destroy Savage, his family and his business.

Savage and his wife Jonelyn have been trying for years to get back their daughter Jocelyn, who ran off to be with Kelly shortly after meeting him backstage at a concert when she was only 17.

They believe that she is being held captive but the singer, but both Kelly and Jocelyn deny this is the case.

The report states that Savage called police shortly after 5am on the day of the incident.

The responding officer then arrived at the house before 5.45am, which is when Russell called Savage on the phone.

Savage was then able to put the phone on speaker so that the officer could hear everything that was being said by Russell.

'Don says several times that Timothy is providing Lifetime with false information, and that is he continues supporting the documentary that they (R Kelly / Don) would be forced to release information disproving Don,' reads the report.

R Kelly has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse by the Cook County State's Attorney office

A judge signed off on an arrest warrant for the singer, 52, on Friday afternoon in Chicago and his first court appearance is set for March 8

The alleged victims of most of these crimes are said to be between the ages of 13 and 16 according to records seen by DailyMail.com

The singer has denied any wrongdoing or illegal activity through his lawyer

Back to court: R Kelly (above at his 2008 trial) has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse by the Cook County State's Attorney's office

These 10 counts involve four victims, at least three of whom are underage.

This comes just one day after the Cook County State's Attorney's Office announced that Jussie Smollett had been indicted by a grand jury on a single charge of disorderly conduct for falsifying a police report.

The speed with which Smollett was indicted had led some to question why the State's Attorney's Office seemed to be taking their time with Kelly but rushing through the Smollett case.

Illinois is just one of the states where there is an open investigation into Kelly.

Lawyers for the Southern District of New York have also been meeting with alleged victims as well as agents from the IRS and FBI while the Department of Homeland Security has also opened up a probe.

It has also been the site of multiple protests since accusations of sexual trafficking mounted against the disgraced star.

Kelly has always maintained that he has done no wrong.

R. Kelly has finally confirmed to the public that he was indeed briefly married to Aaliyah–well, through his lawyer, at least. Steve Greenberg appeared on Good Morning America in an effort to address the recent allegations of rape, abuse, and sexual misconduct that are being stacked up against his client following the Lifetime docuseries, Surviving R Kelly. When Kelly’s representative was asked if his client had ever been in a relationship with a woman who was below the age of consent, he replied that the singer ‘absolutely’ denied being with any underage girls, which was quickly called into question.

“Was he married to Aaliyah when she was 15?” asked reporter Linsey Davis. Greenberg replied, surprisingly admitting that Kelly did marry her, but deflecting onto another famous relationship. “He was married to her when she was 15. Elvis was married to Priscilla,” replied Greenberg, who did not pause or miss a beat. This was a reference to the marriage of Elvis Presley and his wife Priscilla, who was almost 22 when she married the rock star, which she completed with her parents’ blessing.

The reported continued to hound Greenberg on the subject saying, “So then, 15 is not of the age of legal consent, right?” But of course, Greenberg had an excused for Kelly, claiming he wasn’t in the wrong here because Aaliyah was dishonest. “Right except my understanding is that she did not claim to be 15. And in order to get married she had to lie about her age,” claimed the lawyer. “And he is saying he had no idea?” inquired Davis. To which Greenberg confirmed: “No idea.” But Aaliyah’s age still isn’t the only thing that’s disheartening about her relationship with Kelly.

Jim DeRogatis, the reporter who has pursued the sexual and physical abuse allegations against R. Kelly since 2000, was a guest on the New York Times’ podcast series The Popcast with host Jon Caramanica last year. During the conversation, DeRogatis recalled when he first went through the documents that related to R. Kelly and Aaliyah’s annulment.

“The annulment of the Aaliyah marriage and Aaliyah’s legal claim against him had been sealed in Detroit…they were sealed by the court but those documents were provided to me,” DeRogatis revealed. “It’s a harrowing document, a non-disclosure agreement on both her part and Kelly’s, vowing not to pursue further legal claims for physical abuse. So it wasn’t just an underage sexual relationship, he hit her, allegedly, according to that court document.”

The marriage was reported by Vibe magazine shortly after the release of Aaliyah’s debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number. The magazine found that the official Illinois wedding certificate falsified Aaliyah’s age, listing the late singer as 18. But the aforementioned document–vowing not to pursue further legal claims for physical abuse against Kelly–hasn’t really been mentioned when discussing various allegations, even in the Surviving R. Kelly documentary series that has been the catalyst for all the current R. Kelly conversations.

On Wednesday, two women reached out to the Cook County State Attorney's Office with claims against Kelly.

That came on the heels of State's Attorney Kim Foxx urging any victims or witnesses with information to reach out.

There are still no criminal charges against Kelly in Chicago at this time, and no investigation has been launched as of yet into the singer.

It was also revealed on Wednesday that Kelly's manager threatened to ruin a man and his family in a series of harassing texts and phone calls after learning he had participated in the new Lifetime series.

Don Russell texted and called Timothy Savage to say it 'would be best for him and his family if the documentary does not air,' according to a police report in Georgia.

Russell later said that he and Kelly might have to release information that would destroy Savage, his family and his business.

Savage and his wife Jonelyn have been trying for years to get back their daughter Jocelyn, who ran off to be with Kelly shortly after meeting him backstage at a concert when she was only 17.

They believe that she is being held captive but the singer, but both Kelly and Jocelyn deny this is the case.

Jocelyn (above) and Kelly both deny that she is being held against her will

The report, which was first obtained by CBS 46, states that Savage called police shortly after 5am on the day of the incident.

The responding officer then arrived at the house before 5.45am, which is when Russell called Savage on the phone.

Savage was then able to put the phone on speaker so that the officer could hear everything that was being said by Russell.

'Don says several times that Timothy is providing Lifetime with false information, and that is he continues supporting the documentary that they (R Kelly / Don) would be forced to release information disproving Don,' reads the report.

'Don advised Timothy that the information would ruin him, his reputation, business and family, because it would show him a liar.'

This is actually the second time one of the singer's managers has threatened Savage, who previously filed a police report against James Mason.

There is now an outstanding warrant for Mason after he failed to respond to police when they asked to question him about the 'threats' he made to Savage.

The Savages first spoke out in an interview with BuzzFeed on in 2017 which contained worrying allegations that Kelly had been holding a handful of young women in cult like conditions and effectively treating them as his sexual slaves for years.

Some former members of his entourage vouched for their concern. Three separate women said they were all forced to subscribe to his rules.

They said they were told when to eat, bathe, sleep and had to perform sexual acts on one another which the singer then recorded.

The meeting: On January 3, before the show premiered, Kelly's manager Don Russell said it 'would be best for him and his family if the documentary does not air' (Jocelyn Savage on left with her sister and her mother on right after meeting the singer backstage in 2014)

It looks as though R.Kelly won’t survive the docu-series Surviving R.Kelly. The long-time embattled singer who for years has been able to escape charges of physical and sexual abuse against women, rumors of keeping women in a “sex cult” and decades of allegations that he has a penchant for teenage girls will probably not be able to do his Houdini act this time.

The documentary gave faces to the stories many already “knew” about that indicated this musical genius wasn’t right.

It was 2002 when I first sat down with the prolific singer-songwriter to talk about a tape that many said showed Kelly and a 14-year old engaging in sex acts including him urinating on her. During our interview he denied any inappropriate behavior with minors. He chose not to address my questions about Aaliyah, his teen singing protégé that Kelly had secretly married. Later that marriage would be annulled. He would tell me during the interview he did not have inappropriate relationships with two young teens he settled lawsuits with.

He did admit he was no angel and was trying to get help for things he’d “done wrong” in his life, however according to Kelly none of those things included any wrongdoings with minors. He told the world not to believe what they where seeing on the tape because that was not him. When the interview concluded Kelly asked me if I believed him. I said, “I didn’t know if that’s really you, but if that were my daughter on the tape I’d be looking for you!”

Time’s Up for the Pied Piper of R&B

R.Kelly has been musically telling us for years he’s a freak and we loved it. For many, the nastier the better! I’ve asked some of his female fans why they loved the songs of his that are misogynistic, why they excused them? They would say, ‘He ain’t singing about me!” Really? In his mind I wondered. Again, was our choice jams over justice? Was this helping him justify his treatment of women?

Times changed, the Me Too and Times Up movements bring a different sensibility to how we listen to abuse claims.

The women presented in the documentary personified the rumors and innuendos that have been swirling for years. You no longer saw them as faceless accusers, they became the faces of your daughter, your little cousin, your sister, your mother!

Throughout all of this, Kelly continues to deny the claims and is now fighting back against some of his accusers. Some in the court of public opinion say Kelly is just being setup by gold-diggers and haters. They blame the women, their parents, and the media. Ardent supporters say R.Kelly is a victim, yet another example of a Black man being taken down.

Those people are a shrinking minority. In Robert Kelly’s case like others including: Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer one has to start to believe where there’s smoke there’s fire.

Let’s make sure that our critical eye(and ear) won’t change just in case R.Kelly drops another classic. Keeping our women safe must be more important than any slammin’ beat Mister Kelly can give us.

The Roots drummer, Questlove, was forced to explain why he refused to take part in the R. Kelly docu-series after the show's producer, Dream Hampton, made the remarks during an interview with Shadow & Act.

“John Legend was the only one. I asked Jay-Z, I asked Mary J. Blige, I asked Lil Kim, Erykah Badu, Dave Chappelle...I mean, most people just don’t want to touch it. I remember Ahmir [”Questlove” Thompson] was like, ‘I would do anything for you but I can’t do this.’ It’s not because they support him, it’s because it’s so messy and muddy. It’s that turning away that has allowed this to go on.”

Fans were stunned to see Questlove's name in the tweet, and hit him up on Twitter to find out why he would not take part in Lifetime's "Surviving R. Kelly."

"I always thought Kels was trash. My reason for declining the RKelly docu that I support 10000000 percent is I didn’t wanna be in the ‘good times’ portion of the doc, like stanning for his ‘genius,’” Questlove tweeted.

“I was asked to talk about his genius. I do not nor have I EVER stanned for him.”

You need to be a member of CaribbeanFever / FeverEyes / CaribFever to add comments!

Caribmama, no one, is blaming the victims, but they knew R Kelly's past, and so did their parents, you ever why R Kelly, is not in jail? Because you put any of these victims in a court, and then the truth come out. Rkelly, did not put a gun to their heads, they went and stayed of their own free will. Alot of times when celebs, have party's they have their guest hand in their phones or sign non disclosure agreements, the women that was at Rkellys, house did just that, they were stupid, nieve And seeking fame, just like all those women that get with Puffy.

It's time to stop blaming the victims and go after these perpetrators. Stop making excuses. We need to protect those in our neighborhood and teach our daughters that these type of people should not be admired. We will never be able to clean up our neighborhoods or build it up if we continue to let people like THAT be apart of it. Down with PervKelly!

@caribmama, and handsome man, how come the metoomovement only got Bill Cosby? Why those women waited decades later when he is old and half blind to go after him? He did say he gave them drugs, but so did Hugh Hefner, and not one woman came out against him. I do not condone what R Kelly did, after the video tape of him peeing on that female decades ago women should stay clear of him, he should have been locked up decades ago, but don't put all on R Kelly, look at the age of some of those women, they are all over 19, legal, not only that blame the father for dropping his daughter off at R Kelly's house, when he knew what type of person he was. Mr handsomeman, would you drop your daughter off at Rkellys house? Ms caribmama, during the 60's and 70's alit of celebs did drugs, hippy era, these women did drugs with him decades ago, including the ugly white chick, who wrote a book, and said she was looking to get paid, and lied in her book, she got him convicted, if Bill Cosby, was white his ass would not be in jail. I like how some black people are quick to convict their own but put them on jury to convict a racist whiteman and they go by the book and let him go. Bill Cosby a rapist what a f****** joke, but Weinstein if free, Les moonves, try to ruin Janet Jackson career, is he in jail? Kavanaugh is a supreme Court judge, I could go on and on. I bet ya'll believe Michael Jackson , mess with those white boys. Before ya'll judge Bill Cosby, read more about the trial. As for R Kelly, he should be locked, along with the parents, but everyone wants fame. As a Journalist, and also went to law school, I would rip them all to shreds. If your not part of the solution then your part of the problem.

Thank you HandsomeMan.......Pedophile lovers. And for those Cosby lovers, he did himself in with his own words. He admitted in a deposition that he did drug girls. They just turned around and used his words against him. Why black folks always trying to cling on to people who damage, hurt, our communities. These are people we need to purge. You people are sick.

@caribmama, stop the lies and the bullshit, I am not condoning what R Kelly , did, but he kidnapped no one those women went at their own free will, in fact two of those women told the cops that they were not kidnapped. One father who vent to the media, about R Kelly holding his daughter hostage was lying, his own daughter who was 21, came out and told the media, her own father dropped her off at R Kelly's, house. Blame the parents, and these thirsty chicks who want fame and a record deal. As for the bullshit me too movement, how many white men are in jail, because of the new too movement not one, les moonves, kavanaugh, Weinstein, even the white pervert, I forget his name who paid off his victims, none of them went to jail, except for a half blind 80, something frican American actor name Bill Cosby, who was guilty for f****** these thirsty white women. That is who the me too movement sent to jail. The damn President is a sexual predator and runs the country. Whites protect their own and we are quick to demonize Blind Bill Cosby.

Because they're perverts to Mr. Johnson, that's why we have the metoo movement. How many more parents have to have their kids kidnapped at a concert after a family member introduces a daughter to pervkelly?
